Chapter 394 The Father of Superheroes
Please recommend tickets and monthly tickets!
The news hall was crowded with people, and everyone had signs of websites such as newspapers, TV stations or entertainment movies on their chests. Their targets were the four people sitting in the front. No matter what, this was a "Superman" movie, which naturally attracted the attention of the media and the public.
Media journalists have different attitudes towards different people.
They asked Chris Evans about his feelings about playing Superman, they asked Meghan Fox about his differences and similarities in their collaborations with the two major directors, and they asked Gal Gadot about his basic questions!
That's right, even today, the media still questioned why such a Jewish girl who has no qualifications and is too slender, and no more than C at most can get the important role of Wonder Woman?
All media reporters actually have the same answer, because Gal Gadot's boyfriend is Murphy Stanton, the director of the film!
Although he was questioned and difficult, Gal Gadot was smart enough and has gradually become mature and capable in recent years, and has dealt with it quite appropriately.
"Director Stanton..."
Finally, the reporter's questions focused on director Murphy, "Based on the various news that have been revealed so far, will "Body of Steel" be a very serious work? Why?"
Murphy adjusted the microphone and said, "In the real world, people don't joke around anytime, anywhere. As they have been performed in those films over the years, those works have adopted more artistic expressions, but I don't think it's bad to be serious."
"Man of Steel is the foundation stone of the entire Justice League series?" another reporter asked.
I don’t know if it was intentional to release news, Warner Bros. intends to create the entire Justice League series, so Murphy’s “Man of Steel” is a killer weapon produced by Warner and DC.
Such news also made DC comic fans ecstatic.
Compared with Warner Bros.'s high-profile publicity and marketing, Murphy is still more cautious and implicit. "If you can make "Man of Steel" well and portray the character Superman well, you will have hope to do more "Justice League" series. So we must first let the audience accept "Man of Steel". This is our greatest hope, and go the road ahead, that's all."
"Man of Steel" has been scheduled to be released in May's summer season. After this promotional announcement, the film officially entered the pre-screening publicity stage. Warner Bros. and the crew began to continuously release relevant publicity materials and information.
"Los Angeles Times: Warner Bros. recently announced the official plot introduction of "Man of Steel", and the whole story will revolve around the perception and search of superhuman self-identity."
"In the superhero camp, Superman has always been the one with the highest recognition rate and the most sought after. Clark Kent is an ordinary young man in his 20s, but there is an unknown superpower hidden in his body. This special feature always leaves an invisible gap between him and others, and this superpower that can destroy everything comes from the planet where he was born."
"Clark is the orphan of the highly intelligent alien planet. Because without his biological parents, his identity has always been an unsolved mystery that bothered him. The Kents who adopted him have a profound impact on his growth. How to use his superpowers, this judgment of values, is also inherited from this kind couple. When the survival of the world is hanging on a thread, can he really stand up?"
This so-called plot introduction will not cause any spoilers, but will effectively attract the attention of movie fans.
At the same time, "The Hollywood Reporter" announced the ten most anticipated blockbusters this summer, including "Man of Steel" and "Spider-Man 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Transformers" and other films.
Since "Man of Steel" chose to be released on the second weekend after "Spider-Man 3" was released, these two films are also regarded by many as a super competition between the marvel superhero movie and the DC superhero movie.
Some of the post-production work of "Man of Steel" has not been completed, and Murphy then returned to the studio of Warner Studios to continue to be busy with his work.
He first examined some of the shots of Jody Griffith's fine-cutting. The editor who has worked with Murphy for many years is undoubtedly very clear about the effect the film needs to achieve. In addition to a very few places, Murphy is quite satisfied with the clips he has finished with him, and the fine-cutting behind can also be handled by Jody Griffith.
The second is special effects production. Most of the special effects production of the film has been completed, but to meet Murphy's requirements, the Industrial Light and Magic's special effects production team needs to continue to improve and render.
Then there is the soundtrack, and Hans Jimo completed the first version of the main soundtrack. Just like "Titanic", the music of mainstream Hollywood commercial films will be based on a song and then evolved into a soundtrack suitable for different plots and scenes based on this.
Needless to say, Hans Jimo's ability is not to mention. In addition to the main soundtrack, he also submitted two different background music about Wonder Woman to Murphy. Finally, Murphy chose a soundtrack full of exotic style and drum beats in electronic music, and made Hans Jimo further increase the appeal of the music, striving to make those who hear this background music burn at the first time when they see Wonder Woman in the picture.
After completing these, the post-production work was over, but Murphy had no time to relax. There were many things to do, including dubbing, color tuning and sound effects editing.
Also, Chris Evans' personal image will be fine-tuned to better suit the superhuman image of the comics. Problems such as hair color and skin color are not considered a problem in the face of current movie technology.
After the Oscars ceremony of this year, Warner Bros. continued to make efforts in publicity and marketing. The crew officially signed contracts with companies such as Burger King, Coca-Cola and Gatorade to jointly launch new products with a superhuman image. Burger King also specially launched a Krypton package named after Carl Al.
At the same time, Murphy also asked the crew to release the first official poster. The protagonist of the film is Superman, and the poster is naturally Superman.
This poster spreads the Internet as fast as possible and appears on numerous TV stations and paper media.
The "Superman" on the poster showed his side face in the darkness, and light shone in, illuminating the huge S sign on the chest of "Superman". Fans can clearly observe the changes in the "Superman" shape in "Body of Steel": the small curly hair on Superman's forehead disappeared, the S sign on the chest became bigger, and the blue tights also had a scaly texture. The biggest change was that the bright red of the chest and the cloak turned into chestnut red.
"Every character in the film will bring a credible sense of reality." Murphy also updated his personal blog with the poster, "Superman is the jewel in the DC crown. When we shoot the Superman series, what else is impossible."
He also alluded to the fact that "Man of Steel" goes straight to the subsequent "Justice League" series.
At the same time, Superman's new version of the logo was also exposed. This new "s"-shaped logo continues the darker tone of various promotional materials delivered by the crew before. There are more complex patterns in the word "s". Many people speculate that this version of Superman will encounter various difficulties and twists and turns.
Time slowly entered April 2007. On the first day of April, Warner Bros. released the first version of the trailer for "Man of Steel" through several public TV stations and multiple Internet media.
The trailer exposed this time is divided into two versions. The two versions are exactly the same from the picture to the soundtrack. The unique feature is the narration. Murphy deliberately used narration to tell the audience some of the characteristics of this copyright superman in an extremely short trailer.
The narration in the first version of the official blog was read by Superman's adoptive father, Jonathan Kent, and said: "You are not an ordinary person. One day you will face a choice. You will decide what kind of person you want to be. No matter who you become, justice or evil, it will change the world."
The trailer of NBC TV is whispered by Superman's biological father Joel Al: "You want to give people an ideal that they work hard to pursue. They will follow you, they will fall, and they will fall. But they will eventually follow you in the light, and you will create miracles."
Although the two versions of the trailer are all different, the two Superman fathers' messages are different but they are both exciting enough.
A short video of Murphy was released together with the two trailers. In the video, Murphy claimed that "Superman is the father of all superheroes and is the Rosetta Stone that interprets the unique theme of 'superhero'. I am full of respect for Superman and will reflect this respect in the movie. I am very proud to be able to direct "Man of Steel" and believe that the film's unique style and excellent qualities will definitely conquer the audience."
As the video footage of "Man of Steel" finally came out, the fans who have been waiting for it also began to gather on the official websites of Superman and Murphy and expressed their expectations for the film.
"This trailer is awesome. You can score more than 9 points by watching the trailer. I promise this movie will be fine, because the director is Murphy Stanton..."
"I was completely shocked. The son of Krypton is ready to go under the magnificent soundtrack. The two unique narrations seem to indicate that this story is more tortuous and unforgettable. The ideal Superman seems to be returning... Looking forward to it!"
Of course, with serious fans in Murphy, everything is the best.
"After watching the trailer, why do I think the director is more handsome than the protagonist?"
"Murphy's screenwriter and director, the picture, plot, style, and music are absolutely perfect! You must look forward to it!"
On the one hand, it is Superman's reputation, and on the other hand, Murphy has long established reputation and appeal. A large number of movie fans have great expectations for "Body of Steel".
But there are also many people who are dissatisfied, and their reasons for attack are quite concentrated.
"A flat-breasted Wonder Woman? What a joke, I won't watch this video at all!" (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
